Hasn’t been over the obstacles since finishing third at Fakenham in a hurdle on October 17. The most recent appearance was on the flat at Chelmsford when he proved too good over 2800m. Poised to make a successful return to jumps.

Has been plugging away at recent outings, last time finishing seventh hurdle. Happy enough to avoid on current form.

Unplaced two runs ago in a in a hurdle (4200m) at Ludlow. Improved at the latest outing when second in a hurdle (4200m) at Ludlow, beaten 3 lengths. On his best jumping form could prove hard to beat.

Likes to make all in his races. Game in defeat when second in a hurdle (3800m) at Warwick last start. Leading prospect who can find winning form here.

Unplaced two starts back in a maiden hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton then produced a better result last time when he wound up in sixth in a hurdle (3200m) at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Certainly worth including.

Was well off her best when resuming last start, finishing 33 lengths away in eighth in a hurdle (3900m) at Chepstow. Must improve sharply.

Last start was in a hurdle (4700m) at Newcastle when eased out of the race. Happy to risk this time.

Has finishing midfield at his last few starts, the latest when seventh hurdle. Hard to see him improving enough to warrant consideration here.

Not raced for 16 months. Closed off last preparation when seventh in a hurdle (3200m) at Warwick, beaten 54 lengths. Changed yards to the Charles & Pogson stable. Would need to be at best to feature.

Has been below his best for a long time and is now winless in 540 days. Safely held again when sixth in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at this track last start and impossible to recommend. Can't enthuse.

Not raced for 10 months. Closed off last preparation when fourth in a hurdle (4400m) at Stratford-On-Avon, beaten 121 lengths. Others preferred this time.

Had just two runs last campaign and went to the paddock after finishing seventh in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter. Can't enthuse.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (4100m) at Southwell, finishing seventh when partnered by today's jockey Jack Andrews. Before that first-up run he went to the T Ellis yard. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Sent out at long odds in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Southwell last time when eased out of the race. Not likely to threaten in this field.
